Chapter 26 The Land I Don't Want to Leave
"Jin Ge fought against the Iron Horse, and now the heroic soul of the past is strong. Ten miles of long songs and tears farewell to Beijing, don't let the northern soil become a Koucheng. Shen Shaofan sighed and looked at Beiping in the distance.
One of the guards came to him and said, "Commander! Put all your luggage on the plane! ”
"Good!" Shaofan looked at Beiping City again and said to himself: "I will come back." ”
Shaofan sat in the plane and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and there were countless thoughts in his heart, he took out the letter that Gu Xiaodie left him from his pocket and read it: Hello Commander Shen: You are a soldier I saw who is different from other commanders, and my father said that you are chivalrous, so you will help me. But I always feel that there is another reason for you to help me, because I hear your heart beating so fast when I am close to your chest, and I know that you are not afraid of Chen An and his bodyguards but because I am in your arms. At that time, I felt that I was the happiest girl in the world, and when I heard you say that I was your woman, I felt extremely secure, and I seemed to have found a place to rely on. I know I'm wishful thinking, how can someone as good as you fall in love with our showmanship.
I'm leaving, my father told me not to think that this would hurt me, in fact, I am not afraid, I know that there is a girl in your heart, and you keep calling her name while you sleep. I didn't want to write this letter to you, but I couldn't leave like this, so I wrote a letter to say goodbye to you, and we will go along the southbound route, probably to Shanghai, which is a big city, and our Baiyun Caidietang can have a better development. I'm writing this letter not for anything else, but I hope that Captain Shen will remember that you still know a singing Gu Xiaodie, and I wonder if we are still destined to meet.
Respectfully, Gu Xiaodie wrote cursive in July 1937, Shen Shaofan carefully put away the letter, leaned his head on the back cushion of the seat, closed his eyes, recalled Gu Xiaodie's appearance, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes contrasted with cherry mouths, beautiful goose eggs, there was always a smile on her face, her black and bright hair was slightly lifted in the breeze, and her graceful figure was slightly lifted in the breeze, wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam with a peach blossom pattern, her smile was so moving. Shaofan thought about it and smiled slightly, for some reason, he remembered Gu Xiaodie's appearance so clearly, as if he had been with her for a long time, maybe his smile was too similar to Wenwen's.
Although the National Youth League is full of emotions, they all know one truth as a soldier, that is, obedience! Therefore, the transfer of troops was quite smooth, but it was not very easy for a well-equipped army of nearly 30,000 people to be transferred from Beiping to Nanjing, artillery artillery; The infantryman's car also had weapons and equipment; Guns, ammunition, and nearly 30,000 troops had to be transported to Nanjing, and Song Zheyuan also dispatched two 15-car trains to the National Youth League so that the National Youth League could quickly move to Nanjing.
The troops were under the command of officers such as Sun Zhiyu and Block Tianfang; Methodically boarding the bus. A few hours ago, the artillery vehicles and ammunition were all set out by a pre-cadre column on the first special train of the National Youth League bound for Nanjing.
Blocking Tianfang looked at the slow boarding troops and sighed: "Their emotions are very troublesome!" ”
Sun Zhiyu said: "Only let the battalion commanders do their work, and let them know that our southern transfer is also a better fight against devils." ”
Blocking the sky and said: "I have already explained." Although the battle on the 13507 highland was not big, the first large-scale actual combat of our National Youth League was remembered very deeply! ”
Zhang Wenshan said meaningfully: "I don't know if we can go back here?" ”
There was an atmosphere of breathlessness at the station, the mood of the soldiers seemed to have fallen, and the bottom of the valley troops slowly moved on the platform, and the scattered footsteps carried a sadness, which was a kind of sadness that every officer and soldier could experience.
Looking at the slow-moving soldiers, he felt a sore feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but leave the platform in a hurry.
Chen Chen also looked sad on the side and said: "The brothers don't seem to want to leave Beiping!" ”
Sun Zhiyu sighed and said: "Who wants to leave, although our troops have been stationed in Beiping for only half a year, but how many brothers have shed blood and sacrificed here, and how many good brothers have fallen on the 13507 heights." If we leave now, no one will be better off. But the military order is like a mountain! ”
ZHANG Wenshan; Chen Chen and several staff officers of the regiment headquarters also sighed when they heard Sun Zhiyu's words, and they looked at the black and oppressive flow of people, and they didn't know what to say.
At this time, I only heard a sharp buzz from the radio speaker at the station, and then I heard his majestic voice coming from inside: Brothers, brothers of the National Youth League. I know that you are going to leave Beiping, and I feel very sad, but the south needs our National Youth League even more, and now there are hundreds of thousands of little devils watching us on warships at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, and Shanghai will launch a large-scale attack on Shanghai, a big city in southern China, at any time, and the southern front is in danger. Yes, we have brothers who fell on the land of Beiping, but the soldiers of our National Youth League not only shed blood and sacrifice for one Beiping and one Pingjin, we also want to sacrifice blood for the whole of China, and if there are devils there, we will fight there. We all swore to the saber in front of the souls of our brothers who died in the 13507 Heights: "If you don't get rid of the Japanese invaders, you swear not to be human!" "So we're going to Nanjing; To Shanghai; We want to go to places where China needs our troops even more.
The words came out of the radio, and the soldiers of the entire regiment listened attentively, staring at the horn hanging high on the telephone pole on the platform.
Sun Zhiyu jumped on a high platform as soon as he saw it, and simply shouted at the top of his voice: "Soldiers of the National Youth League, what is our slogan?" ”
"Dear and sincere, carry forward the spirit of Whampoa!" Every soldier of the National Youth League said in unison.
"Not bad! Come on, I started with the Huangpu people, and the singers and everyone sang triumphant songs to embark on the journey of killing the enemy. 'The tide of anger is surging, the party flag is flying, this is the Whampoa of the revolution'. Sun Zhiyu took the lead in singing, walked up to the platform and walked through the crowd of soldiers, and Block Tianfang also followed closely behind, and took the guard company to board the carriage with vigorous military steps.
'The tide of anger is surging, the party flag is flying, this is the Whampoa of the revolution. We must carry out the doctrine, do not relax our discipline, and be prepared to be the vanguard of struggle. Fight a bloody path and guide the oppressed people. Hand in hand, move forward, the road is not far, don't be surprised. Dear and sincere, continue to keep forever. Carry forward the spirit of our school, carry forward the spirit of our school! The military songs sung by the soldiers all took solid steps and boarded the train, and the military songs fluttered over the station, and the morale of the National Youth League returned.
As if the brothers in the whole group had come to life again, he shouted as if he was overjoyed, "Brothers, what is our slogan? ”
"Dear and sincere, carry forward the spirit of Whampoa! Dear and sincere, carry forward the spirit of Whampoa! ”
The train full of soldiers departed from the Boxer Station and slowly drove towards the southern battlefield, but the loud military song still echoed in the sky over Beiping, and the touching scene was fixed on July 16, 1937, when the National Youth League left Beiping, four days later, the Japanese army's 200,000 troops led by Kazuki Kiyoji began a large-scale attack.
A plane glided and stopped at the airport in Nanjing, Shen Shaofan stepped off the plane and looked at Nanjing, a complicated and excited feeling came to his heart, he was reluctant to leave Beijing, but he was looking forward to returning to Nanjing, after all, it was the land that raised him as an adult.
There were only a few people walking around the deserted airport, and Shaofan's guards put their luggage in a black car, which was Shen Shaofan's own car, and it was Qu Bo, the housekeeper of the Shen family, who came to pick him up.
Shaofan's requirements for his life on weekdays are not very high, although he is very clean, but he wears almost a military uniform on weekdays, and there are not too many belongings, this time he returned to Nanjing was urged by twelve gold medals, and he really couldn't do it, so he hurriedly stepped on the plane back to Jinling, and there was not much luggage, just a few short-sleeved military uniforms and a few sets of shirts and pants that he wore on weekdays, and a few books he liked to read on weekdays, which were also sorted out by his guard Lei Fei.
Lei Fei is the little man who has been following him, he knows Shaofan's temper very well, he was originally a cowherd and Shaofan in Shaofan's hometown in the countryside, and Shaofan can be regarded as small, three years younger than Shaofan. He heard that Shaofan was an official in Nanjing, so he secretly ran out of his house and was found out by Shaofan after he became a soldier in the National Youth League, so he pulled him to be a guard by his side.
The car drove to the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, and Shaofan saw the revival three-story small house with a garden, and the chief breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's home!" ”
When the car drove to the door, I saw two sentries standing guard with guns, one of whom was dressed exactly the same as the equipment of the National Youth League, and seeing his car drive into the courtyard was a very standard military salute. Then I saw two groups of soldiers with different equipment standing in two rows in the courtyard waiting for Shaofan to get off, Shaofan took a look at a group of soldiers with all-German equipment and the same equipment as the other National Youth League, the other row was all-American equipment, Thomson submachine guns, pedaling American leather boots, and then looked carefully, only to know that the soldiers with German-style equipment were the soldiers who had been sent to Langfang to carry out special operations missions before, and the leader was Bai Xiaolong, and the other group of soldiers with American-style equipment did not know any of them.
Shen Shaofan just got out of the car Bai Xiaolong, Chu Huaiyue, Duan Louyun, and Wang Xin came to him and saluted a military salute, Bai Xiaolong said: "The National Youth League special agent reconnaissance mixed task force came to return to life, and now one hundred and twenty-six people are temporarily organized as the guard company of the National Youth League to be responsible for the safety of the regiment leader. ”
Shaofan smiled slightly, but choked up again, he knew that the task force that had sent more than three hundred people at that time was now only one hundred and twenty-six people. He patted Bai Xiaolong on the shoulder, looked at the one hundred and twenty-six fearless soldiers, saluted them, and said, "Brothers, on behalf of Beiping and all the brothers of the National Youth League, thank you, if it weren't for your fearless performance, how many people would have died in Beiping and our comrades-in-arms under the devil's plane." ”
"Dear and sincere, carry forward the spirit of Whampoa!" One hundred and twenty-six members of the task force shouted together.
At this time, Shaofan remembered the team with American-style equipment and said to them: "Which of you is responsible?" ”
A captain officer kicked out and saluted: "Report to Regiment Commander Shen, we are a special company of the guard battalion of the new 1st Division of the 10th Corps, and we are ordered to be responsible for the safety of our division commander." ”
"The new 1st Division of the Tenth Corps? Isn't that my big brother's troops? Shen Shaofan was startled and looked at the door of the house, only to see Shen Shaolong with his hands on his chest, with a smile on his face, leaning against the door frame and looking at Shaofan, Shaofan also smiled and walked up to his eldest brother and laughed at each other.
"Let me introduce you." Shaofan took Shaolong's hand and wanted to introduce Bai Xiaolong and the others to Shaolong.
Shaolong smiled: "No need. I've been here for almost a week, and I've known them for a long time. Let me introduce it to you! So saying, he called three officers.
Shaolong said again: "This is my adjutant Xie Xing." This is Cai Ping, the company commander of the company directly under the guard battalion of my new 1st division, and Jiang Dong, the deputy company. ”
Shaofan greeted everyone Yiyi, and Cai Ping said: "Head Shen, I have a brother who is also in your National Youth League, his name is Cai Fan." ”
Bai Xiaolong, who was on the side, was startled and couldn't help lowering his head and said, "Brother Cai Fan died during the sneak attack on the Japanese airfield. ”
Cai Ping was shocked at first, and then smiled slightly: "Soldiers! Sacrifice your life for your country...... Glorious! As he spoke, tears began to roll in his eyes.
Bai Xiaolong came to Cai Ping's side and said, "Company Commander Cai, your brother is a gentleman!" He was there to cover the retreat of our brigade and several fighters were confronting a battalion of troops on the navigation tower. ”
"Good!" Cai Ping smiled: "I didn't lose the face of our Cai family." ”
